HND Purchasing & Supply

This HND in Purchasing & Supply at Koforidua Technical University explores how organisations buy goods and services and manage their supply chains. It suits you if you are interested in the practical side of business operations, from sourcing materials to delivering finished products. The programme is a diploma-level qualification in the Faculty of Business and Management Studies.

What purchasing and supply programmes cover

Programmes of this kind usually focus on how businesses and other organisations buy goods and services, manage their supplies, and deliver what customers need. You will typically learn about purchasing processes, supplier selection and negotiation, inventory control, logistics, and the contracts that govern buying and selling. The work builds practical skills in analysis, planning, communication and negotiation, and it suits people who like to solve problems and make things run efficiently.

How competitive it is to get a place

This is a less competitive programme to get into than many other business qualifications at the tertiary level. That means your chances of securing a place are generally higher, but you will still need to satisfy the university's admission criteria. Check the Koforidua Technical University admissions page or contact the school directly to confirm what grades you need in your WASSCE results.

What you can do with it afterwards

Graduates of purchasing and supply programmes typically start in roles such as procurement assistants, purchasing officers, storekeepers or logistics coordinators. With experience, they can move into supply chain management, contract management or inventory planning. The skills are useful in any organisation that buys goods or services, including manufacturing companies, hospitals, shops, and government agencies.
